New Way of practicing Old Beliefs

[The Grand Nudger]

“"Bad spirituality" is still spirituality. The politics of religion becoming plainly apparent in that list. That's one possible value system we might find, but there are more..and alot of them, even in the development of what we might consider to be paragon candidate ideologies...arose from martial cultures and were very much used as pretext for eliminating barbarous tribes. Such was the case for jainism, for example.”

 
- I don’t agree with that.

You can disagree if you like but it's a fact of history? That's kind of the point with respect to the politics of religion. We can disagree with any given idea about spirituality and it's contents but it does contain them and it has found it's expression in those ways. A pacifist disagrees with a martial spirituality. An easy example. An exclusivist disagrees with an inclusivist..a more subtle example. These disagreements are very often not in or over detail - all of the same actors and forces and mechanisms are present across competing spiritualities. They're more often over possession and principal. Like your disagreement.

There are all sorts of bigots and charlatans in all spiritual tradition. Yet, the majority of us are still managing to end up in a spiritual system that is more or less “correct”. It is the the duty of each and every one of us to try to find something that resonates with reason and is still nourishing for our soul.
See, the moment I say “soul” I’m out of the realm of philosophy. The meaning of that phrase is that “it has to fell right for us inside” (that’s not a philosophical kind of definition at all )

Not really.  You're talking about existentialism there, for example.
